Mechanics of Reinforced Soil

by Andrzej Sawicki

Overview

This text presents the mechanical aspects of reinforced soil (RS) behaviour. Beginning with simple reinforced soil models, it discusses various aspects of this material, such as properties of its constituents, and stresses and strains in reinforced soil, up to the more complex analysis of RS structures. Its scope and level ensures it will be a valuable resource for students, academics and geotechnical engineering professionals alike.

Editorial Reviews

Though construction materials consisting of a soil matrix strengthened with other material such as metal strips or geosynthetics are becoming widely used, especially for retaining walls, Sawicki (hydroengineering, Polish Academy of Sciences, Gdansk) finds almost no literature on methods for rational analysis and design. He augments the many books on engineering reinforced soil by devoting one entirely to mechanical aspects of its behavior, starting from simple models and progressing to methods for analyzing reinforced-soil structures that account for various phenomena such as plasticity and creep.
